Notes:
Morphological information can be related to significant properties of solid bodies, liketheir friction, adhesion and wear. The primary aim of the present contribution is to provideevidences of the crucial role played by roughness in contact mechanics, based on Atomic ForceMicroscopy investigations at the nanoscale. We report experimental results concerningpoly(dimethylsiloxane) colloidal probes indenting smooth substrates and discuss the dependence ofload-penetration curves and pull-off forces on system details. We suggest their use to perform novelcontact mechanics experiments on nanostructured rough surfaces
